https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/va7100-warning/m-p/4537717#M33449 Hi,<BR /><BR />Before a 73g disk fail, my va7100 has elvent 36g disks, three 73g disks and the system has no warnings or errors. After replacing the failed 73g disk and wait for 2 days for its to balance or rebuild, It still has a lot of warning. The VA is still up and running, and I still have a good backup. I also attach the whole armdsp log. Can someone give me a solution? <BR /><BR />PS. The reason I have 73gs disk is I want to replace all the 36g disk with 73g gradually as those 36g fails.<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />The following disk is reported MISSING by the controller:<BR /> Vendor ID:____________________________HP 73.4G<BR /> Product ID:___________________________ST373307FC<BR /> Data Capacity:________________________66.757 GB (140000001 blocks)<BR /> Block Length:_________________________520 bytes<BR /> Serial Number:________________________3HZ1AG3Z<BR /> Volume Set Serial Number:_____________0000483600000006<BR /> Node WWN:_____________________________2000000c5025e11a<BR /><BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />===================================<BR /><BR /><BR />OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS<BR /><BR /> The array is BALANCING.<BR /><BR />WARNINGS<BR /><BR /> WARNING: One or more member drives are missing.<BR /><BR /> WARNING: A rebuild operation failed.<BR /><BR /> WARNING: Some data in the device lacks redundancy, and is exposed to becoming unavailable if further drive removals or failures occur.

That may help the diagnosis of this problem.

If it will, start it manually ("armrbld -r"), gather logs ("armlog -e") and attach.
